O.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving you is hard
Baby when you're gone
I can't sleep, you is where I belong
Thought you were the one but girl
You're proving me wrong
Yeah you're proving me wrong
I just wanna care for you by myself
I can see it in your eyes
Girl You found someone else
I can feel the distance and it hurts like Hell
But maybe I'm the problem
The problem I can't solve It
I guess it's time to go
This feeling how I do I stop it
It's killing me I can't drop it hope you Found who you were looking for
Loving you is hard
Baby when you're gone
I can't sleep, you is where I belong
Thought you were the one but girl
You're proving me wrong
Yeah you're proving me wrong
Loving you is hard
Baby when you're gone
I can't sleep, you is where I belong
Thought you were the one but girl
You're proving me wrong
Yeah you're proving me wrong
Maybe I'm selfish
But the fact is that i can't help it
Looked into your eyes
And I folded
Push me away
When I feel the closest
My mind is feeling overwhelmed
I can't slow down
I guess that we're over now
You say there's nothing that I can do
But maybe I'm the problem
The problem I can't solve It
I guess it's time to go
This feeling how I do I stop it
It's killing me I can't drop it
Hope you found Who you were Looking for
Loving you is hard
Baby when you're gone
I can't sleep, you is where I belong
Thought you were the one but girl
You're proving me wrong
Yeah you're proving me wrong
Loving you is hard
Baby when you're gone
I can't sleep, you is where I belong
Thought you were the one but girl
You're proving me wrong
Yeah you're proving me wrong
And I'm Gone




And I'm Gone
You're Proving me wrong

Apollo Brown has a way of capturing the vibes of any song, and turning it into a masterpiece! all i do is nod my head back and forth til there's a solid crook in my neck. Not many producers can do that........Apollo can!

@tonygreene5884

Trevon Rochester Word up bruv' :)
Apollo Brown up there with the top producers

@daveacosta4166

Trevon Rochester pause! suspect nodding your head smh

@rusty9008

Trevon Rochester Madlib produced this.

@robfalgiano

Yep. Plus OC’s stuff is deep. Spiritual. He reaches down to bring it up. I wish he had more of a social media presence (even though SM can be a drag). I’d listen to him talk about his views on pretty much anything. But I respect the privacy.

@DioBrando1996v

O.C. is extremely underrated. Him, Big L & Lord Finnese were always the best members of DITC.

@JAA87

Exactly... Although AG spit fire too

@sfknns

+Midnight Recovery Big L always gets more props than Finesse & OC or anyone else in DITC. So They're even more underrated than L. AG to.

@DioBrando1996v

T-800/1000 Model I agree

@cowabungahgeoff

ShowTime please don't sleep on A.G. tho
